Frequently asked questions -

Can I wear something festive?

Yes, if you have a christmas jumper or a festive hat please feel free to wear this on the day.

I would like to volunteer, however I will struggle to get childcare, can my child volunteer as well?

This will depend on the child's age.

Anyone 14 or above can volunteer as long as we have consent from a parent or guardian. If you would like to volunteer and bring your children (under 14 years old) along with you, they cannot register as a volunteer and will not be given a volunteer role, they can attend with you, however, they are your sole responsibility, please consider whether you can fulfill the volunteer role as well as look after the child. If you are unsure and want to discuss please contact us.

I am unable to stand for long periods of time, is there a role I can support with?

There might be measures we can put in place in order for you to be able to support still, please contact us to discuss which role might be suitable.
